Ultimate water-cooled solution
AN EXCEPTIONALLY ENERGY EFFICIENT WATER-COOLED CHILLER RANGE FEATURING OIL-FREE TURBOCOR COMPRESSORS WITH
ECONOMIZERS, FLOODED EVAPORATORS AND OFFERING A GREEN, LOW-GWP R1234ZE REFRIGERANT.

A vast range of Powerstream Turbo models and options provides flexibility, tailored precisely to the customer requirements allowing to design truly efficient cooling solutions for
every application.
Powerstream Turbo has been designed for year-round mission-critical service. In a 24/7 world, keeping facilities up and running is critical, and we paid special attention to control
and monitoring functionality, as well as to operational reliability and ease of maintenance. Due to its excellent efficiency at part-load conditions, Powerstream Turbo is an excellent
economy solution for applications where the heat load is not constant and/or expected to grow. The synergy of modern technology, efficiency and reliability enables Powerstream
Turbo to be used in the most demanding applications.

Turbocor compressors
Save up to 25% in operating costs*

Turbocor compressors offer the outstanding energy savings from digitally controlled,
frictionless two-stage centrifugal compression and guarantees significant reductions in
operating cost and environmental emissions associated with energy production.

The oil-free design of Turbocor compressors eliminates the potential for efficiency robbing oil
contamination and all of the oil management accessories: oil heaters, oil pumps, oil separators,
oil filters, plus oil disposal.

Compressor soft-start draws only 2 amps and reduces mechanical stress, as well as the
electrodynamic stresses on the power cables and electrical distribution network, extending
the overall lifespan of the system.

HIGH PERFORMANCE
EASY OF MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

MODELS

Powerstream Turbo features newly developed shell-and-tube condensers optimized for HFC and
30AVAILABLE
HFO refrigerants to provide the best efficiency. With high-performance tubes, new baffle design
and shell, these condensers provide maximum efficiency with a low cost per kW, as well as shorter
lenght and reduced weight comparing with competing solutions. Water flow within condenser is
optimized to reduce the fouling and erosion risks.

Standard are 2 pass condensers, 4 pass condensers available as an option.

Grooved connections
We use grooved end connections because of their rigidity, flexibility, noise and vibration attenuation, and easy of installation and
maintenance. The groove is made by cold forming or machining a groove into the end of a pipe. A gasket encompassed by the
coupling housing is wrapped around the two grooved pipe ends, and the key sections of the coupling housing engage the grooves.
The bolts and nuts are tightened with a socket wrench or impact wrench.

Higher microchannel condenser performance results in a reduced condensing temperature,

.20

which in turn reduces compressor power consumption and increases the overall chiller
efficiency, while allowable operating envelope of the compressors gets widened to a higher
.15

ambient temperature.
.10

Superior performance of the microchannel freecooling coil translates to higher freecooling

capacity and increased freecooling hours, thus increasing the overall system efficiency. In the
.05

same time, the microchannel freecooling coils do not impact the fan power consumption due
to the low airside pressure drop.

Flooded evaporators
EXCELLENT FOR PART LOAD CONDITIONS
OPTIMIZED FOR HFC AND HFO REFRIGERANTS
EASY OF MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

The flooded evaporator enables to operate at the higher saturated evaporating temperature when
compared to many others evaporator types and allows to achieve higher cooling capacity with
correspondingly higher efficiency.

The refrigerant pool behaves as a flywheel, allowing the controls of the flooded evaporator to track
the varying load of a batch process, while optimized tube geometry ensures optimal refrigerant
distribution.
